Cold stress (CS) affects the survivability, geographical distribution, and yield stability of
crops. Suitable management and agronomic practices can minimize the crop losses …

Association analysis is used to measure relations between markers and quantitative trait loci
(QTL). Their estimation ignores genes with small effects that trigger underpinning …

Eucalypts are the world's most widely planted hardwood trees. Their outstanding diversity,
adaptability and growth have made them a global renewable resource of fibre and energy …

The use of molecular markers has revolutionized the pace and precision of plant genetic
analysis which in turn facilitated the implementation of molecular breeding of crops. The last …

Warming and drought are reducing global crop production with a potential to substantially
worsen global malnutrition. As with the green revolution in the last century, plant genetics …

Forest tree breeding has been successful at delivering genetically improved material for
multiple traits based on recurrent cycles of selection, mating, and testing. However, long …

Intensively managed plantations account for 1.5% of the world's forests, but they meet one-
third of the demand for wood products. Eucalyptus plantations are among the most …

Genotype by environment interaction (G× E) refers to the comparative performances of
genotypes differing among environments, representing differences in genotype rankings or …

Studying the genetics of adaptation to new environments in ecologically and industrially
important tree species is currently a major research line in the fields of plant science and …

The breeding of forest trees is only a few decades old, and is a much more complicated,
longer, and expensive endeavor than the breeding of agricultural crops. One breeding cycle …
